Hello Jennie, take the seed head off. The object of dead heading daffs is to save the plant putting energy into making seeds so that it can go into the bulb for next year. When I'm dead heading them I give them a feed at the same time - growmore, phostrogen or whatever I have, and if they're in pots top up with some fresh compost too. My daffs were all past weeks ago so this probably relates to my question on your day light post. Looks like you get spring a lot later than us. Quite a gardening challenge in Shetland I think. But we all have to garden in our own micro climates.

I've got to dead head my daffs this week, but I've also got to sig out a snowberry bush quite close to my flowerbed and will probably disturb the daffoldil bulbs - would it be better to wait for a while? How long after flowering does the bulb keep developing etc.

I don't mind digging the daffs up and replanting them, but not sure now would be a good time to do that.

Thanks Alice - what about the tulips in pots? Should I be feeding them too once they die off? Never grown them before, but listened to Alan Titchmarsh at the beginning of the year and planted them in pots and have sunk them around the garden. Been really pretty. They are so colourful and makes such a change from the yellow of the daffs.
